Specialized rolling mills that emboss a pattern or indent into metal strip are known as embossing mills. These patterns can be used for decoration, to help with structural qualities of tubing or simply to increase material length without significantly decreasing the material thickness for cost savings.

When embossing material, as by its nature you are imparting variable stresses across the material width, you must tightly control certain rolling parameters.

Element has experience building and controlling embossing mill processes to achieve accurate depth and width characteristics, while maintaining good material shape.

Element has experience supplying embossing mills designed for specialized separating forces and outgoing materials. These mills are typically part of our total line equipment with coil processing handling equipment to provide the level of control necessary on the material processing.
